Put them side-by-side, then put on your uncle's eyeglasses (or whoever in your family has bad vision) and they'll look identical

Right, because the 1963 Corvette can pass 2013 safety standards
That piece of metal, although part of the rear lift up window/gate thing, probably has a pretty significant impact on the ability of the car to not crumple in a collision. Just like how the driver's and passenger's side door is a structural member of the car, even though it can still open...
I imagine the slow-motion crash video of any vehicle would look significantly different if the doors were removed.
